The first one in Baltimore could be called an accident by incompetence

This one happening so close after immediately after leads to suspicion of a coordinated attack on infrastructure

I thought the same until the FBI came out a fucking day later and said, "We've completed a full and comprehensive investigation and there's nothing to see here. Oh, by the way, there's no black box."

Not true, there was a black box! Stop spreading misinformation! (And ignore the fact that the last few minutes of recording during the crash were missing)

Was it a day later? I thought it was only a few hours later. Either way, super suspicious.

The truly frightening thing is they might actually be able to tell within 24 hours...

Because they're monitoring the shit out of everything everyone does and were able to quickly break back comms to and from the ship during the incident.

The one in Baltimore is almost certainly not an accident. The black box getting Epstein'ed makes that pretty much a guarantee.

I said 'could', the actions after might lead to might suspicion of conspiracy as there is a fine line between hiding evidence to cover a plot and hiding evidence because you're desperate to save your own ass since your idiocy caused a massive disaster.

Look at Boeing for example..

Except that anyone who lives around the big rivers knows crazy barge shit is an annual thing and bridge caissons are generally built strong enough to absorb a barge impact.

The barges themselves are pretty flimsy to begin with. They're only a little bit thicker than dumpsters and weigh in at 500 tons for the biggest ones. As you can see in this picture, they crumple like cardboard boxes.

Idk, it’s really not that difficult to not hit something with your large ass boat

500 tons? Wow, I worked with plastic injector machines that weighed that much. They were huge, but inside (the smallest ones were 50 T)

The outer bumper makes them look stronger than they really are. They look like a big steel box but inside there's just a minimal amount of ribbing that is only supposed to take forces straight on. They're designed so that if they get loose in a flood and hit something, they'll crumple and sink.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action

Just tell 'em Large Barge sent ya. cackling laughter

But seriously, one is an accident, two is intentional. They're fucking things up just in time to do something really horrible. And I hate knowing that it's only to get worse.

Even if the first one in Baltimore had 2 minutes of it's black box data deleted at the time of impact for some reason.

Edit: Do you think they're practicing how to smash things remotely, because they want to do it to your self driving car next?
